Housewife Gone Wild

Edward just shrugged, sounding totally relaxed. “Once a family’s built its empire, it’s not about conquering anymore–it’s about holding onto what you’ve got.

I let out a little “oh,” realizing even the rich have their own pecking order.

“Yeah, if there’s ever anything you want or wish for, just tell me. I’ll make it happen for you, anytime,” Edward said, completely straightforward.

Edward smile again. “Then… can I
